Reading! Technology! Fun!
August/September 2013
We hope you have had a FANTASTIC summer with lots of time to READ and RELAX and PLAY! We are so excited for the new school year and everything that it has in store for us! The Learning Commons Team will be coming around to classrooms to see what we can help you with these first few weeks of school and then we cannot wait to start working with you and your students to answer questions, discover new apps, and encourage reading, reading, and more READING! Please let us know if there is anything you need or just stop by to say, "HELLO!"
Love,
Your Learning Commons Team
